by nature, I am not a hateful person.. I also think that hatred is poison that often hurts the one who carries it more than the one it's directed at. However, I do recall saying the words "I hate you" and strongly feeling that way many years ago when I was still very young. Of course, I deeply regret hurting others while being in pain myself, even if they were the source of my suffering in many ways. Two wrongs don't make a right, after all.. but yeah, I think I am maybe a bit too sympathetic at times (especially once I cool off) and I tend to understand people even when I shouldn't, I also often blame myself for everything (bad habits I need to change..)
